March 17, 1985

On this day in 1985, Richard Ramirez killed a man and attacked a woman at a house in Rosemead, California.

Ramirez left an AC/DC hat behind at the crime scene. Ramirez continued his killing spree and became known as the “Night Stalker.” When it became clear that AC/DC was his favorite band, the group was accused of encouraging crime and devil worship in their music.
